The European Convention is still the only international human rights agreement providing such a high degree of individual protection. State parties can also take cases against other state parties to the Court, although this power is rarely used. There are comparable protections issued in the Bill of Rights under the United States Constitution as well as the English Bill of Rights. I used the European Convention on Human Rights as it is an International Agreement.

Article 8 provides a right to respect for one's "private and family life, his home and hiscorrespondence", subject to certain restrictions that are "in accordance with law" and "necessary in a democratic society". This article clearly provides a right to be free of unlawful searches, but the Court has given the protection for "private and family life" that this article provides a broad interpretation, taking for instance that prohibition of private consensual homosexual acts violates this article.

2.Article 9 provides a right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. This includes the freedom to change a religion or belief, and to manifest a religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance, subject to certain restrictions that are "in accordance with law" and "necessary in a democratic society"

1.Article 10 provides the right to freedom of expression, subject to certain restrictions that are "in accordance with law" and "necessary in a democratic society". This right includes the freedom to hold opinions, and to receive and impart information and ideas.

2.Article 13 - effective remedy

3.Article 13 provides for the right for an effective remedy before national authorities for violations of rights under the Convention. The inability to obtain a remedy before a national court for an infringement of a Convention right is thus a free-standing and separately actionable infringement of the Convention.

The addendum to the article 6 of the Russian Federation law On Weapons, "was approved on July 26, 2001. It states: within the territory of the Russian Federation is prohibited the circulation of weapons and other objects the effects of the operation of which are based on the use of electromagnetic, light, thermal, infra-sonic or ultra-sonic radiations" (30).

(20) International criminal justice standards and Non Lethal Weapons

International criminal justice standards and Non Lethal Weapons NATO policy that express : ... “The research and development procurement and employment of Non-Lethal Weapons shall always remain consistent with applicable treaties, conventions and international law, particularly the Law of Armed conflict as well as national law and approved Rules of Engagement.”

International criminal justice standards The following criminal justice standards were adopted under the auspices of the United Nations:

• 1979 Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, and the • 1990 Basic Principles on the Use of Force. (Page 36)

“NON-LETHAL” WEAPONS It is difficult to oppose the development of new means and methods of warfare, which would lead to fewer deaths, injuries, disabilities or deprivation to civilians. However, the term “non-lethal weapons” is applied to a range of old and new weapons the use of which is, purportedly, associated with low lethality. Such weapons can be classified according to how they damage or incapacitate the human body. The following categories of weapon have been cited as having “non-lethal” capabilities: kinetic energy (rubber bullets, sponge bullets, etc.); entangling technologies (nets, sticky foam); chemical weapons; biological weapons; acoustic beams; electric shock technologies; infrasound; and electromagnetic waves of a variety of wavelengths.10

Patriot Act renewed despite warnings of 'secret' law

news analysis The U.S. Congress has approved a four-year extension of the Patriot Act despite warnings from senators that the Justice Department has twisted the 2001 law into a "secret" surveillance mechanism far broader than Americans realize.

"I believe that when more of my colleagues and the American public come to understand how the Patriot Act has actually been interpreted in secret, they will insist on significant reforms too," said Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who tried to block the renewal. Sen. Mark Udall, a Colorado Democrat, offered a similar warning.

The cautionary note from two members of the Senate Intelligence committee -- who are briefed on classified activities and are tasked with overseeing the NSA, CIA, and the Justice Department's "intelligence activities" -- is highly unusual, and perhaps even unprecedented.

And it's prompted intense speculation about what kind of constitutionally dubious surveillance, which could include vacuuming up cell phone location records, the Obama administration might be engaging in.

By now it's clear that of the three sections of the Patriot Act that would have expired last night, the Democratic senators are concerned with Section 215 of the law, better known as the "business records" portion. It allows FBI agents to obtain any "tangible thing," including "books, records, papers, documents, and other items," a broad term that includes dumps from private-sector computer databases, with limited judicial oversight.

The Justice Department confirmed in March that Section 215 "has been used to obtain driver's license records, hotel records,car rental records, apartment leasing records, credit card records, and the like." Todd Hinnen, acting assistant attorney general for national security, told a House of Representatives committee at the time that such directives were constitutional because they are "not a 'search' within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment." (The Fourth Amendment, of course, prohibits "unreasonable" searches and seizures.)

A month earlier, FBI director Robert Mueller elaborated on how Section 215 is used, saying it lets the bureau obtain "records relating to the purchase of hydrogen peroxide." According to a transcript (PDF), Mueller told the Senate Intelligence committee that a secret foreign intelligence court has approved over 380 uses of Section 215 since 2001. Hydrogen peroxide can be used in bomb-making.

Mueller hinted that there was a secret legal memorandum prepared by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel that authorized a broader use of Section 215 than is publicly known. That would echo a series of Top Secret legal memos prepared by the Office of Legal Counsel under President Bush. One said waterboarding was not torture (PDF). Another (PDF) claimed that the NSA's warrantless wiretapping program "is lawful."

Wyden, who was present at the February 2011 hearing, told Mueller that he was "increasingly troubled" that intelligence agencies are "relying on a secret interpretation" of the Patriot Act. "I believe that the American people would be absolutely stunned," Wyden said, if they knew what was actually going on.

At the moment, Section 215 says that an order must be approved by the secret FISA court if the FBI shows the data "sought are relevant to an authorized investigation" dealing with terrorism -- a requirement that provides little privacy protection in practice.

Wyden has proposed rewriting Section 215 to add some teeth to the privacy protections. Instead of mere relevance, he suggested requiring that the investigation fall into one of three categories: relating to a foreign government, an espionage investigation, or "an individual in contact with, or known to, a suspected agent of a foreign power."

That's much more limiting. More precisely, it would curb use of Section 215 as a data vacuum cleaner that the FBI may be using to hoover up customer databases from companies such as pharmacies, bookstores, retailers, credit card providers, telephone companies, and so on.

It's true that exabytes upon exabytes of data could, in theory, be helpful in investigating terrorism and other crimes. This was the motivation behind the Total Information Awareness idea, after all. But it's also true that nobody in the U.S. Congress believed that they were giving the FBI such sweeping authority when enacting the law nearly a decade ago.

Udall, who with Wyden proposed a series of unsuccessful pro-privacy amendments, said his recommended change to Section 215 would "require the FBI to show a nexus to terrorism when seeking a court order requesting access to business records. This is currently not a requirement, meaning the government may demand access to business records ranging from a cell phone company's phone records to an individual's library history."

At the moment, Udall said this week, the FBI can "collect business records on law-abiding Americans" who have no connection to terrorism. "We ought to be able to at least agree that the source of an investigation under Patriot Act powers should have a terrorist-related focus," he said. "If we can't limit investigations to terrorism, where do they end?"

Julian Sanchez, a policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, believes the use of Section 215 that so alarmed the Democratic senators relates to the warrantless tracking of the locations of Americans' mobile devices. In a blog post, Sanchez suggests that Section 215 could be creatively interpreted by the Justice Department "to enable physical tracking of anyone with a cellphone," and subsequent data-mining could indicate whether two people are sharing the same physical location.

It's a plausible explanation, perhaps even the most plausible one. Wyden has drafted legislation that would curb warrantless access to location histories by police (see CNET Q&A with him). Wyden's so-called GPS Act says that, in general, it's illegal to track someone wirelessly except with a warrant signed by a judge, permission of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, or during an emergency situation -- language that would curb any such use of Section 215.

Another hint about what the FBI is doing comes from former Sen. Russ Feingold, a Democrat who was defeated last fall. He said in a February 2010 floor speech that:

Section 215 has been misused. I cannot elaborate, but I believe that the public deserves some information about this. I and others have also pressed the administration to declassify some basic information about the use of section 215, and it has declined... We must find a way to have an open and honest debate about the nature of these government powers, while still protecting national security secrets, and under current conditions that simply isn't possible... Lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel looked for every possible loophole in statutory language to justify what I believe were clearly illegal wiretapping and interrogation programs. That should also teach us that we must be extraordinarily careful in how we draft these laws: We must say exactly what we mean and leave no room for reinterpretation.

One of the Wyden-Udall amendments (PDF) divulged a bit more detail about the Section 215 timeline. It said on February 2, 2011, the House and Senate "intelligence committees received a secret report from the Attorney General and the Director of National Intelligence" relating to "intelligence collection authorities" relying on portions of the Patriot Act that were about to expire. That amendment would have required the Justice Department to describe "the legal basis for the intelligence collection activities" described in that report.

Those amendments failed. So did similar amendments proposed by Sen. Rand Paul, the Kentucky Republican.

The Senate approved the final version of the Patriot Act extensions by a 72 to 23 vote on Thursday. The House followed with a 250 to 153 vote, and President Obama "signed" it into law that evening.

EU post-911 U.S. CIA crime complicity, cover-ups: Rights Chief

The EU human rights chief on Thursday censured European governments for collaborating with U.S. committing and carefully covering up “countless crimes” in the "so-called war on terror" since 911, naming the CIA and "counterterrorism" involvement. The "blistering attack" on the EU is part of the 911 mass murder tenth anniversary, an occasion to analyze official responses according to The Associated Press, although the post-911 Targeted Individuals crime phenomenon continues to be hidden.

Non-Lethal Weapons and International Lawby Marie Jacobsson, LL.D, Senior Legal Adviser on International Law Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.The views expressed below do not necessarily reflect the views of the Swedish Government.Below follows an outline of the paper Non-Lethal Weapons and International Law to be presented at the 1st European Symposium on Non-Lethal Weapons at the Fraunhofer ICT, on September 25-26, 2001, in Pfinztal, Germany. The outline lists a number of aspects that will be addressed in the presentation.The paper will primarily address the question of applicable international law in regard to the use of antipersonnel Non-Lethal Weapons (as a means of warfare) or of the antipersonnel use of Non-Lethal Weapons (as a method of warfare). It will also present some thoughts on issues that need to be discussed further.Issues to be addressed are:

Too bad that the US court system is decades behind technology. For the past 40 years crime families and Communists embedded in local, state and US government agencies kept me under 24 hour surveillance. Orwell's Big Brother arrived in my life and has not left. That is and was bad.Those who make the lawsare mostly clueless about available technology which is also capable of tormenting humans from adjacent buildings and floors of buildings. Technology can go through walls. Thermal imaging was addressed by the Court in KYLLO V. UNITED STATES (99-8508) 533 U.S. 27 (2001) 190 F.3d 1041, reversed and remanded. Some states (MA, MI and ME) have laws making use of some devices which emit electromagnetic radiation, ultra sound and other beams or waves. US Code makes exposing a human to radiation punishable by a fine of $2 million. But local police refuse to address such abuses. Instead local police, crime families, FBI informants and Communists use the technology to control, to provoke and to discredit their targets. Psychiatric criminals join crime families and Communists to destroy people, for personal, political and economic reasons. The US Constitution falls and fails to protect individuals being tormented by government criminals who use new technology.

[From article]"A Supreme Court justice on Tuesday expressed major concerns that the government would engage in round-the-clock surveillance reminiscent of the totalitarian world of the George Orwell novel 1984 if the court ruled in the government's favor."

Here is another 'hidden law' which support torturers and we must fight against anyone who may use it to against our human rights.

PUBLIC LAW 95-79 [P.L. 95-79] TITLE 50, CHAPTER 32, SECTION 1520 “CHEMICAL AND BIOLOGICAL WARFARE PROGRAM” “The use of human subjects will be allowed for the testing of chemical and biological agents by the U.S. Department of Defense, accounting to Congressional committees with respect to the experiments and studies. The Secretary of Defense [may] conduct tests and experiments involving the use of chemical and biological [warfare] agents on civilian populations [within the United States].” SOURCE – Public Law 95-79, Title VIII, Sec. 808, July 30, 1977, 91 Stat. 334. In U.S. Statutes-at-Large, Vol. 91, page 334, you will find Public Law 95-79. Public Law 97-375, title II, Sec. 203(a)(1), Dec. 21, 1982, 96 Stat. 1882.

This DoD Directive in summary gives permission to the military and the government contractor base to test and evaluate (illegal human experimentation) war weapons and technology on U.S. civilians who are targeted for surveillance. The over 3100 government contractors noted in The Washington Post article entitled 'A Top Secret America’. Contractors who are earning no less that ONE MILLION per year to as high as 750 BILLION per year, with the top-earning contractors developing satellite war weaponry, yes satellites as weapons.

This 'directive' also includes the 'unnamed' government sub-contractor base and whom ever else, to conduct (illegal) human experimentation, on any person that is placed under surveillance without reason. This original directive was written in 1994 and is linked below.

This DoD 5240.1-R directive states that any U.S. citizen placed under surveillance is fair game for anyone to conduct illegal human experimentation on; the testing and evaluation of weapons. What is important to note is that this 'directive' has clearly expanded to all civilians; 'chemical trails aka chem-trails sprayed across our skies, and other chemical and biological testing (authorized testing) documented within each Senate budget.

Here are a couple of documents for you to read as well. One document inserted is a letter from Julianne McKinney, a former Army Intelligence officer, letter written to former President Clinton. In this letter, she expresses her concerns about the abuse and harm to U.S. citizens that would be caused by this DoD directive.

The other insert/link is the original directive.
